ELEMENTAL
North Vat, designed by the London office of Rodic Davidson Architects,
replaces an existing fisherman’s cottage in Dungeness’s unique shingle
landscape. The house in Kent, England, was conceived as a ‘cluster’ of
small shed-like structures, referential to the local vernacular of pitched
roof huts, scattered along the beach front. At the heart of the scheme were
enthusiastic clients seeking to break away from conventional layout and
form.
“North Vat is about the inherent
beauty of simple ‘elemental’ forms
and how these can create complex
spaces and experiences within a
cluster” – Siniša Rodić
